5th Interdisciplinary expert dialogue
IEDAS – Active safety and automated driving
23th – 24th October, 2019 in Ingolstadt
Focal points
- Use of artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning for automated driving from the perspective of vehicle safety, data collection and use.
- Specific functional features of automated driving in the various modes of transport such as cars, commercial vehicles and on-demand-mobility (ODM).
- Fallback levels in automated driving: users, safety drivers, remote operators, technical systems, etc.
- Physiological and psychological aspects of automated driving from the perspective of users or the environment
- Contribution of communication technologies to the automated driving functions in the various operational design domains
- Legal framework: liability law / authorization law / behavioral law etc.
The Call for Papers of the 5th international conference “Active Safety and Automated Driving – IEDAS” is open until May 3, 2019. Pleas submit a short abstract in German or Englisch language together with your suggested topic via upload here.
Why you should join
At the conference, when observing the road user in the context of automated driving, the focus is placed less upon physical limits, and rather on cognitive characteristics, the ability to perceive and react. Accident research still delivers valuable results, however in addition to this retrospective approach, the additional element of prospective analysis must also be incorporated. Aspects including adequate validation of necessary functions, assessment of controllability of critical situations caused by road users, a validated prognosis of the potential effectiveness of new systems and many additional similar topics will be specifically addressed as part of this congress.
The focal points described here distinguish themselves by means of both a non-competitive nature and the powerful need for the interconnectedness of the affected and involved parties. This expert dialogue intends to offer a substantial contribution to precisely these two aspects.
As opposed to other events, a strong emphasis is placed on the dialogue character of this event: compact expert contributions with sufficient opportunity for discussion and exchange. The line-up of the program committee reflects the interdisciplinary character contained in the selected presentations.
Chairmanship
Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Kompaß
Vice President Vehicle Safety
Since 2008 Prof. Kompass is Vice President Vehicle Safety for the BMW Group, Munich. In this role he is responsible for all crash test facilities, the development of active and passive safety as well as accident research and safety aspects of automated driving for vehicles of the BMW Group including BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce.
Congress content
The automation of the task of driving, the continually increasing transfer of vehicle control tasks from driver to the vehicle and the associated changing roles of man and machine are key contemporary issues in the development of future transport systems. Highly or fully automated driving functions should offer the driver the relief from the primary task of controlling the vehicle and enable his attention to be turned to other matters. This goes hand in hand with the reduction of the risk of accidents and an increase in traffic safety. The mobility of tomorrow on the whole will be markedly changed by the introduction of automated driving.
In order to meet these goals, there are still a number of hurdles to be overcome. The need exists for harmonisation, standardisation and an in depth exchange of information for all involved parties – scientific, regulatory, insurance law and manufacturing.
